The history of the founding of Fabryka Automatów Tokarskich
At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries the economic development of Prussia at that time also had a positive impact on the increase in the production of these plants. Hence the decision to move the companies to the village of Grabiszyn near Wrocław, where there was more space for the construction of modern industrial centers. At the beginning of the 1920s, at Klein Mochberner Strasse (now Klecińska Street), about 700 people worked in the Trelenberg factory, and about 400 people in the Heckmann factory. Over time, the plants stopped production for several years due to the Great Economic Depression (1929 - 1933), and the aggressive imperial policy of the Third Reich and World War II ultimately contributed to the collapse of both companies.
After the end of World War II in 1946, in the halls and rooms that allowed for the resumption of production, Państwowa Fabryka Obrabiarek began its activity. Drills, files, planes and frame saws were produced in the factory facilities of the former Trelenberg and Heckmann plants, which were combined into one plant. In 1953, the company was transformed into Wrocławska Fabryka Urządzeń Mechanicznych. It specialized mainly in the production of lathes, hence, since 1975, the company has been operating to this day as FAT - Fabryka Automatów Tokarskich.
The first universal lathe produced by FAT in 1955-1966.
The FAT brand is associated with a very good, reliable product. By 1992, the company had released 50,000 machines (mostly for export). Years of experience have made FAT lathes around the world perceived as a technologically advanced European product. The most important moment of the last decades was undoubtedly the acquisition of the plant by the HACO group in 1998. Thanks to this, many investments were made and the production of modern lathes at the highest technological level was started.
